If you tell me the mg/ml of the liquid your dog had and the mg of the tablets you have, I can tell you how to mix your own. I'll also need to know how many total ml or ounces was in the bottle of liquid to start with.
Question about antibiotics
I am in the process of trying to add to my medicine supplies and looking to replenish meds for my pets too.. I have 2 dogs and 2 elderly cats. I know how I can get amoxicillin and other antibiotic tablets but is there anywhere I can get amoxicillin liquid. Not long ago, one of my cats became ill and vet gave me a bottle of Biomox, which was basically the same pink amoxicillin liquid I have given my kids many many times. (given in a MUCH lesser dose to the cat of course). I have searched and can only find tablets, which I cannot give her, she spits them out and gags on them if I push them down her throat. Given her age I don't want to keep shovin them on her, she did well with the liquid... any suggestions?
and meant to say, I'm trying to find it without having to take her in for another stressful exam and vet fee for me..

Crush one 250mg and one 500mg tab into a fine powder. Mix 1 teaspoon of vanilla yogurt and 2 teaspoons of water together. Combine everything together and mix well. That will yield you a 15ml solution of 50mg/ml (exactly the same as you got from the vet). Administer as prescribed on the original bottle of vet medicine.ok lets see.. the vet gave me 50 mg/ml. there's no ounces just says "15 ml when mixed"
I have both 250 mg and 500 mg tablets
You may want to write that recipe down along with the dosing on the vet bottle, and keep it somewhere safe for later reference.
yea but don't dump 750mg worth of ground up amoxicillin in wet food all at once.This is probably as good of advice as trying to buy the liquid since they are just a suspension liquid anyway, with the amoxi particles floating in something palatable. Heck, grind it fine and mix it with wet food.
Also, its very important to finish the entire bottle (even if the pet seems to be feeling better). If you fail to complete the regiment, the pet may wind up with a bug resistant to the amoxicillin (meaning the antibiotic won't work on the bug anymore).
once mixed its good for 30-60 days in a refrigerator. Antibiotic suspensions don't usually last very long. Most come in powder form and are mixed by the vet or pharmacist right before they dispense it to you.
ALWAYS FINISH ALL OF YOUR ANTIBIOTICS........ pets and humans!
Well the water and yogurt are interchangeable. Test the vanilla yogurt on the cat before adding any medication to it. If the cat likes the taste you can mix 3 teaspoons of whatever combination water/yogurt you like. The important part is to use 3 teaspoons of whatever the cat likes, to mix the meds in, to keep the dosage strength the same.
Now for your bill........... 2 pounds of Community Coffee- New Orleans blend, and one container of Bon Caca seasoning!, maybe even a jar of some powdered Kary's Roux!!!
Be careful with tuna. My GF lost an expensive cat that way. I'm not sure of all the details, but the vet said something in the tuna was bad for the cat's kidneys... (of course she was feeding the cat an entire can at a time, just like it was expensive cat food).Maybe you could mix little amounts of the daily dosage into "treats" that add up to a full dosage by the end of the day.
My cat was a sucker for this when the main carrying mechanism was tuna from a can mixed equal parts with a fish based wet food mixed with his medicine. I was pretty old school though, and ground his pills in an old marble mortar and pestle to ensure smoothness.
He's 15, he deserves a little spoiling :thumb:
I know.... Cats.....fish...... Whats up with that?
More importantly... why isn't there mouse flavored cat food, or cat flavored dog food??????
